Less Known Possible Markers For Children With Autism

Autistic children are familiar nowadays. Most of them don't know that they have autism or they just don't seem to care about their situation at all. Although people with autism do not have the same markers and deficits, they tend to share social, communication, motor, and sensory problems that may affect their behavior in distinct ways.

According to The New Indian Express, some students from Biochemistry Department of Bharathi Women's College, assisted by Institute of Social Pediatrics, Government Stanley Medical College, and Hospital and funded by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Delhi. Research from the study, approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee, Madras Medical College (MMC) found out that some observations and markers for autistic children and have found out a chemical substance in these kids. These chemical substances were Plexina-AI and Kininogen-I. These proteins play a broadly significant role in the signaling pathway of the brain that may affect their behavior which can cause autism. The study has also included autistic children to attend in specialized schools.

Autism is a tremendous matter that should be taken care of. According to an article in BBC, people with autism have the tendency to have more activity on the part of the brain called the amygdala when they look at other people's faces. The over-stimulation of this section of the brain may explain why autistic people often have troubles in maintaining eye contact. A nerve cell in the brain called mirror neurons, work and responded in a different way to individuals with autism compared to those who don't have the disorder. This explains why people with autism find it hard to learn simple behaviors from others. Having good social interaction, language skills, and physical behavior is crucial. These factors are very essential because these were the attributes that we are using daily and are necessary for applying for jobs, forming relationships, etc. and overall have a good quality of life.
